- blech:
- if you went to its page, you'd see everything, surely?
- blech:

- blech:

- blech:
- still, kind of a nice idea
- jerakeen:

- jerakeen:
- I'm just wondering about clever things you can do with the twitter limited distribution thing
- jerakeen:

- jerakeen:
- you can design all sorts of clever things using conceptually very fragile bits of 'API'
- jerakeen:

- jerakeen:

- jerakeen:
- etc etc
- blech:
- indeed
